| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X235 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rnl/LG9.4.29. 'SS{S. Smith}' REAR HYDRAULICS. X7520 There is a danger that the conduit may pass directly over the high pressure valve on the rear shock absorbers. When this happens it is impossible to get at the high pressure valve to alter the loading. We should be obliged if you will consider the possibility of avoiding this difficulty, as removing the damper from the car to adjust the loading is a most laborious proposition.
